ACRO FACULTY

Dominik-Wyss


Dominik competed in various sports (soccer, track and field, snowboarding, and skateboarding). He understands the patience, passion, and consistency required in a professional athlete's life. He graduated in 2000 from the Gymnasium Liestal, Switzerland, with a sports and human biology degree. His passion for human movements led him to seek a career in the same field. The rich Swiss circus culture became the perfect platform for him to express himself. His exploration of the circus world brought him to the San Francisco Circus Center in 2001. Under Master Trainer Lu Yi (Artistic Director and Director of Acrobatics) and Vladimir Nazarov (Three-Time World Champion in Acrobatic Gymnastics), he pursued his studies in acrobatics. His mentors encouraged him to explore more than just the physical aspects of acrobatics. Critical thinking, open discussion, analysis, and innovation were expected to comprehend the subject matter thoroughly. Eventually, he became part of the teaching staff for the Youth Circus and an acrobatic trainer for the Professional Aerial program. In 2010, Dominik started working for Acro Sports, where he trained the City Circus. The same year, he opened his own acrobatic/fitness studio, where he taught a wide range of circus performers, competitive athletes, and recreational classes designed to fit the needs of his clients. After running the Cayuga gym successfully for 9 years, Dominik returned to the Circus Center, where he currently offers acrobatic and fitness services.
